Final switch-off and shut-down of the Rosetta Mission Engineering Qualification Model, an identical twin of the 'real' Rosetta, that has been used at ESOC for more than a decade to test and validate software and procedures before upload to space. Switch-off was done by Rosetta Spacecraft Operations Manager Sylvain Lodiot on 6 October 2016.

30 million years from now, a massive cloud of gas will collide with the Milky Way.
Astronomers are studying the incoming cloud and learning more about its origin.

Another set of wheel check-outs on Oct 6, 2016, mission sol 1482. These images of the wheels are acquired at regular periods
to check the condition of the wheels. This set was acquired by the Hand Lens camera (MAHLI) which is on the turret on the end
of Curiosity's 2-meter long robotic arm which has been lowered close to the ground to capture these images of the wheels,
additional images will often be taken of the wheels on the right side of the rover with the mast camera and may show
a hitchhiker on the middle wheel seen by the navigation camera after the last drive.

Planet in star system nearest our Sun 'may have oceans'
http://phys.org/news/2016-10-planet-star-nearest-sun-oceans.html

A rocky planet discovered in the "habitable" zone of the star nearest our Sun may be covered with oceans,
researchers at France's CNRS research institute said Thursday.

A team including CNRS astrophysicists have calculated the size and surface properties of the planet dubbed
Proxima b, and concluded it may be an "ocean planet" similar to Earth.

Scientists announced Proxima b's discovery in August, and said it may be the first exoplanet—planet outside
our Solar System—to one day be visited by robots from Earth.

The planet orbits within a "temperate" zone from its host star Proxima Centauri, some four light years from us.

It is estimated to have a mass about 1.3 times that of Earth, and orbits about 7.5 million kilometres (4.6
million miles) from its star—about a tenth the distance of innermost planet Mercury from the Sun.

Great balls of fire! NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has detected superhot blobs of gas, each twice as massive as the planet Mars,
being ejected near a dying star. The plasma balls are zooming so fast through space it would take only 30 minutes for them to travel from
Earth to the moon. This stellar "cannon fire" has continued once every 8.5 years for at least the past 400 years, astronomers estimate.

The fireballs present a puzzle to astronomers, because the ejected material could not have been shot out by the host star, called V Hydrae.
The star is a bloated red giant, residing 1,200 light-years away, which has probably shed at least half of its mass into space during its
death throes. Red giants are dying stars in the late stages of life that are exhausting their nuclear fuel that makes them shine. They have
expanded in size and are shedding their outer layers into space.
